A “MY-kro’ mee-ter” is a unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter, or one micron (Not to be confused with my-KROM’-a-ter, a measuring instrument used with a telescope, microscope, or laser for fine focusing)
Also called a micron it is the metric linear measurement used in microscopy There are 1000 microns in a millimeter If something is 1 8mm long then it can also be expressed as 1,800 microns (or micrometers) long
A unit of length One micrometer equals one millionth (10-6) of a meter (The term micron formerly used for this unit no longer is preferred )
The measurement given directly is that of the image of the object formed at the focus of the object glass

Unit used for measurement, equivalent to 10-6 meters or one-millionth of a meter; abbreviation um
A unit of microscopic measurement convenient for describing cellular dimensions; one millionth of a meter, 10-6 meter (about 1/25,000th of an inch); its symbol is µm Replaced the now obsolete term "micron "
an instrument for measuring very small distances. Instrument for making precise linear measurements of dimensions such as diameters, thicknesses, and lengths of solid bodies. It consists of a C-shaped frame with a movable jaw operated by a screw. The accuracy of the measurements depends on the accuracy of the screw-nut combination
One-millionth of a meter, or 10-6 meter, the unit usually used for measuring microorganisms
A measuring tool that is shaped and functions very much like a C-clamp (but don't use them for C-clamps!) The screw in a standard machinist's inch micrometer is precision ground and has 40 threads per inch, so one revolution changes the measuring length by 0 025" A standard, good quality micrometer that is not worn is accurate to about 0 0001"
